Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) has become one of the biggest wildcards in the Democrat Party.
But now Americans are finding out something very troubling about the renegade Pennsylvania Senator.
And John Fetterman tried to hide this damning bit of information but landed in hot water instead.
It turns out John Fetterman is merely an actor playing a bizarre role
U.S. Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) is unlike anyone else serving in Congress today.
He works hard to portray himself as just a regular blue-collar guy from Pennsylvania.
And he does his best every day to maintain this image in the U.S. Senate.
Fetterman is probably best known for trading in the normal suit and tie worn by Senators and instead sports a hoodie, basketball shorts, and running shoes while he’s on Capitol Hill.
But how he presents himself completely masks the Pennsylvania Senator’s actual background.
Fetterman has a master’s degree from Harvard and another master’s in business administration (MBA).
He grew up in a very affluent suburb, and his wealthy parents fully paid his way through life until he was 49.
The hoodie and shorts are all just an act.
Fetterman forgets to disclose his kids’ investment accounts in companies he regulates
Fetterman has been out in front pushing legislation that would prohibit members of Congress and their families from holding or trading stocks.
But while he has been on his mission to “hold Washington accountable” by banning Congress from trading stocks, he failed to file required financial disclosure forms for the stocks his three children under the age of 18 own.
“Fetterman’s three minor children own between $45,000 and $675,000 in stocks and between $53,000 and $445,000 in corporate bonds, according to an annual financial disclosure he submitted this week. Fetterman amended disclosures he submitted as a Senate candidate in 2021 and 2022 and as an elected official last year to reflect his kids’ portfolios. Senate ethics rules require senators to report ‘assets, transactions, gifts, travel reimbursements, and liabilities’ for dependent children,” the Washington Free Beacon reported.
The Pennsylvania Democrat is a member of the Senate Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Committee, which regulates banks.
So he certainly knows the rules.
His kids own stocks and bonds from major banks like Citigroup and JPMorgan Chase.
A required financial disclosure form revealed that his children have between $600,000 and $1.25 million in their checking accounts.
“Congress already has enough perks—insider trading shouldn’t be one of them,” Fetterman’s campaign website states.
But his minor children own a sizeable number of stocks and bonds of major banks that he’s regulating.
Fetterman co-sponsored the ETHICS Act last year, which would have limited the children of lawmakers to owning $10,000 in securities.
And it would have banned lawmakers and their spouses from owning or trading stocks.
The Fetterman family owns up to $175,000 in stocks and bonds of major banks.
“Senator Fetterman filed an amendment to his financial disclosures that included investments for his children that were created by generous grandparents who were unaware of the reporting requirements,” a Fetterman spokeswoman stated.
“Once Senator Fetterman was made aware of the investments, he immediately filed the appropriate disclosures.”
John Fetterman has broken with his party on issues like supporting Israel in its war against Hamas.
But it is his hoodie and shorts that are most noticeable and the tools he uses to mask the fact that he’s just another corrupt creature of Washington, D.C.’s “Swamp.”
